I have a question about possible cases:
1. I have H1B from one employer A and it is valid till 2008 July. If I get another job with employer B, I want to still work for employer A on a part-time basis doing the same job, can I do it, provided I get a new H1B from the Empoyer B instead of transfer? My understanding was since I already have H1B, new H1B petition shouldn't count towards the cap.
2. What are the implications on green card applications if I change the employer (I am expecting the labor cartification any day now and will apply for I140 from employer A on a full-time basis)? Assuming I-140 and EAD gets approved before I join employer B, can I still use it to file I-485 from employer B - the job is similar/same industry/responsibilities or it would be better to start all over again with LCA and recruitment, etc??? My PD is not current (for another year or so...)
3. Let say I apply for new H1B through Employer B, and it gets approved, and after that they receive I-140 from the current employer A - could it jepardize my green card process?
My job is not safe these days, and that's the reason I am looking for another. Haven't found yet, but want to be in the know when I talk to the prospective employers. Any help would be appreciated.
